He was trained and raced at 4, and again put to the Stuck When he was 6 yrs. old, he was purchased at a high price and imported to Victoria, where lie had two more seasons' training and racing. He proved himself' the beat English horse ever trained in Australia. Ee rah remarkably vffell, and won several races, carrying heavy weights ; he was both speedy and Btaying, of a most docile and quiet temper, with a wonderful constitution, and legs like iron. Like his sire, thai firsts class English racehorse Alarm, "he was never sick, sorry, or lame," and retired from the turf without a blemish; : At the stud* although from being in an out-of-the-way/ Elace, he has not been favored by many rat-class mares, he has got more winners out of half-bred ones than any horse in Via. toria, and for general purposes his stock ia much esteemed. In the breeding of PERTOBE there is a combination of some excellent strains of blood, such as the. Waxy-Whalebone, in that famous line , through Defence,' xnd which comes to him on the'sides of 1 both aire and dam. . On his sire Panic's Bsda there is, as well as his good Defence blood* that of the game and stout Venison, tHa powerful and speedy Melbourne, and, most excellent of all, that of Pantaloon. " The value of the Pantaloon blood is undeniable, having furnished so many proofs, not alone as to its being speedy and staying, but also to its 'training on,' and being essentially a ' running strain for although some others occasionally produce one or. two first-class animals, few, If any, can compete with Pantaloon as to numbers. A very grand recommendation of this strain of blood is, that it mixes successfully with, and improves, all others." Thus writes Copperthwaite, and other good turf authorities agree with him to the same effeot. On the side oi the dam of Pertobe there is a lot of good blood ooming in through The Pre« mier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, was by Jerry, out of the Ardroßsan mare (the. dam of the mare Beeswing, celebrated not only as a first-class racer, but' also as the maternal ancestress of England's ' very best family of racehorses at the present time, viz., the Newminsters). The DelaprA blood, is also very good indeed. Delapres dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First, Mrs, Roberts, the great grand-dam of Pkktoue, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood ia good, he being by Wanderer, hy Gohanna,, by Mercury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, so much is the Wanderer blood thought of, that they say "a bad one by Wanderer was never known," and if they can trace a pedi. gree to a Wanderer mare, they consider th«l quite sufficient.
